Apples. 



Monstrous Pippin. (Gloria Mundi, Ox Apple, Baltimore.) Very 

 large, roundish, somewhat flattened at the ends, slightly angular 

 or ribbed ; skin smooth whitish green, becoming whitish yellow ; 

 stalk stout, short; calyx large, basin wide, deep, somewhat 

 ribbed, with an obtuse rim ; flesh white, tender, rather coarse, 

 sub-acid, not rich. Late autumn and early winter. A good cook- 

 ing apple. 



NEWTOWN PIPPIN. (Pippin, Green Newtown Pippin.) Medium or 

 rather large, roundish, oblique, slightly irregular, remotely conical 

 or else a little flattened ; dull green becoming yellowish green, 

 often with a dull brownish blush ; stalk short, deep set, and sur- 

 rounded by thin, dull, whitish russet rays ; basin narrow, shallow ; 

 flesh greenish white, juicy, crisp, fine-grained, with a high, fine 

 flavor. Keeps through spring, and retains remarkably its fresh- 

 ness. Tree of rather slow growth, with a rough bark. The fruit 

 is very liable to black spots or scabs, unless under high, rich, and 

 constant cultivation. One of the best fruits for foreign markets. 

 A native of Newtown, Long Island, and has rarely succeeded 

 well in New England. Tender far west.
